Anis Elkhechen, DMD

Dr. Elkhechen grew up in Boca Raton and received both his bachelor's degree and his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from University of Florida in Gainesville.

His parents live in Wellington, just around the corner from the practice and his brother also provides health care as an orthopedic surgeon in West Palm Beach.

After graduating from dental school, Dr. Elkhechen continued to seek out further training and ongoing education so he can provide the most modern care to his patients. He completed the implant dentistry continuum as well as the clinical mastery series on cosmetic dentistry and full mouth rehabilitation. Dr. Elkhechen recognizes that no matter how comfortable and inviting a dental office is, patients still have other places they'd rather be. This is why he also studied office efficiency to make sure his practice runs smoothly and minimizes the amount of time you have to spend in a dental chair!
